TinaLouise Banned Posted Thursday at 05:17 PM Posted Thursday at 05:17 PM (edited) On other sites it's not necessary to input a URL along with all those numbers, etc in order to post pics on messages or forums....(Other Site) for example, only has 'insert files' with a paper clip symbol. Any chance you could do the same for anal people like myself? Edited 6 hours ago by Novaer Removed mention of competing website under Section 14.
WickedCadrach Posted Thursday at 05:56 PM Posted Thursday at 05:56 PM Mods can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's done this way because there's a difference is in how the files are hosted. If you could just upload stuff, then EcchiDreams has to pay for servers to store all those images, and there might be increased liability if someone were to start uploading illegal stuff. If we use links, then EcchiDreams isn't saving that image in its servers, it's just looking at the link and showing what's there. It's the difference between someone cutting a picture out of a book and handing it to you to hold and someone holding the book for you and just pointing at the picture for you to look at. It's no big deal for a few pictures, but once I cut out a hundred-thousand pictures and hand them to you, you start running out of hands and need to buy a way to store them.
Community Administrator Novaer Posted 6 hours ago Community Administrator Posted 6 hours ago Apologies, as you will most certainly not want to hear this, but: we do not and will not ever allow direct uploads to posts (In post attachments). I can try to look at ways of trying to simplify this, if its possible. But at the moment the best you can hope for is copying and pasting a link and have it automatically embed the image to a post. Edit: Just realized who you were. Yeah I'm rather anal about people blatantly violating our Terms of Service. Enjoy your ban. Like what? Your 8th at this point, or is it 9th?
